Learning drops

Spent most of the day learning how to handle large drops that are higher than 20 feet. Some went well some hurt a bit. Tried to spin one and it didn’t end well, however I’m fine, just a sore neck.
Rest of the day was spent following James practicing followcams. That will be the next edit.
Less action packed edit today but it was a great day on the Mountain.

Yo, I remember in college when we would talk about chasing winter and hustling for any bit of snow we could find - going as far to clear a whole ampitheatre to make a pump track. Its so sick to watch you living the dream & see how much youre loving it. I cant wait to see how much you improve after almost a full year in the snow. Aroha ki a koe, e hoa

i wanna ask why your stance seems so wide. Or is the snowboard small? If its wider, does is it better for park or smth?

@@MoreRice514 I like a wide stance to pressure along the length of the board more easily. On this Twinpig I’ve got my feet right where the camber meets the early rise rocker for as much grip on the snow as possible! I also love jumps and for maximum landing power i like a stance wide enough that when I squat, bum to ground, i don’t topple over toward my heels. Too narrow of a stance when you squat really low you’ll fall over toward your heels.

Ouch at 9:30. I remember ending a season with a similar fall, thinking I could back 3 off of a mogul drop. My rotation was way off and I landed horizontally on an outstretched arm, and I've had shoulder problems ever since. I didn't give up in the park, but I definitely am a lot more cautious and I won't try anything that I'm not 100% sure I'll land. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ppN1aNN1rte0c4k.html is a short 360 clip. I switched to posi-posi last winter (I'm from the US) and my main focus has been carving. 5 more months until my season starts here, so thanks for posting these videos!

Carving is the most satisfying and is much less risk versus reward. Glad you’re enjoying! Watching videos of southern seasons always cured me of missing the snow so I figured I’d continue some of my own now that I’m living the dream!

What’s your review of the Twin Pig so far?

@wirmiter Ай бұрын

I absolutely love it so far! I’ll do a board review this week 🤙🏽 it’s a great all-mountain daily driver. Camber in the middle for carves but early rise rocker nose and tail for presses.
